Two accidents within 20 minutes of each other — one a rollover and another a head-on collision — resulted in five people being transported to Charlton Memorial Hospital, all with minor injuries, police said.

The rollover included two young children, a 3-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy, both passengers in a 2000 Nissan Maxima driven by their grandmother, Patricia Taveira, 60, of Buffington Street, Somerset, Sgt. Edward Dutra reported.

He said the car was headed south on County Street, Route 138, within a quarter-mile of the Somerset line just after 5 p.m. when it hit the shoulder of the road and a guardrail before flipping over.

Dutra said the two children were strapped into their child restraint seats and neither they nor the driver suffered serious injuries. He said the children were transported to Charlton for observation.

The drivers, both from Dighton, were identified as Christopher Whitmore, 22, of Hart Street, and Justin Marcoux, 21, of Anderson Drive.

Dutra said the accident occurred because one of the drivers allegedly didn’t stay within his lane. Dutra said he planned to issue a citation at a later date. He said neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the crash.
